Miles Teller (Bleed for This, upcoming Only The Brave) stars in Thank You For Your Service as Adam Schumann, a returning soldier from Iraq who, along with his fellow colleagues, finds it difficult readjusting to civilian life. The piece is adapted from Pulitzer Prize winning author David Finkel’s book of the same name, and in the audio below Teller explains why “accuracy” and “authenticity” were integral to Thank You For Your Service.
MICHAEL FASSBENDER stars in the terrifying thriller "The Snowman." When an elite crime squad’s lead detective (Fassbender) investigates the disappearance of a victim on the first snow of winter, he fears an elusive serial killer may be active again. With the help of a brilliant recruit (Rebecca Ferguson), the cop must connect decades-old cold cases to the brutal new one if he hopes to outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall.
It’s a different type of giveaway this week, as I’m offering up a Prize Package from The Snowman. Winner gets the movie’s official promo shirt, The Snowman plush doll, and The Snowman murder note. Giveaway entry details (and a better picture of the items) re below:
Christopher Abbott and Jon Bernthal in “Sweet Virginia.”
My most anticipated film this year isn’t a comic book flick or animated feature bankrolled by some big studio. Rather, I’m all about Sweet Virginia, and if you love thrillers that leaves a bigger jolt than your morning cup of Joe, this might do the trick.
One of this year’s most standout performances comes from an indie film that is pretty much under the radar, but you can catch Blood Stripe this weekend at Beverly Hills’ Laemmle Music Hall.
Dierks Bentley’s new song “Hold The Light” is the featured song in the Only The Brave, and while working on the movie has been a “great process” the actual project has a deeper meaning for the musician.
Queen’s 1977 album News of the World is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month, and now previously unheard “Raw Sessions” versions of “We Are The Champions” and “We Will Rock You” have been released as digital downloads.
I went to Paris as a kid with my folks and vowed to return to the City of Lights. That dream has yet to come to fruition and the closest thing I’ve come to returning is via reading A Moveable Feastand watching Before Sunset over and over again. Shout Select’s Blu-ray of The Moderns also did the trick, and having not seen an Alan Rudolph film in years (Afterglow, Trixie), it was time well spent.
This week the giveaway is my copy of Blade Runner (The Final Cut) 4K Ultra HD. I also purchased a used paperback copy of Blade Runner to throw in with the disc. Requirements to enter this giveaway is slightly different – check out the details below.
Ryan Gosling, director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) and Harrison Ford team up for Blade Runner 2049, a movie that has already garnered heaps of praise. In this post Gosling talks about the first day Ford came to set and also reminisces about another first – his initial impression of Blade Runner at the tender age of 12.
I’m offering up my Blu-ray review copies of Lowriders and The Mummy for the latest CinemAddicts giveaway. Most of you kmnow the drill, and the details are below!
